Frankoma Coconut Mug Question - Collecting Tiki

Due to their popularity, they were later added into Frankoma's standard line of pottery. If it's not actually marked "Club Trade Winds" or "Cultured Pearl" on the bottom, then it probably came from this later release. BTW. Are you located in Belmont Shores, CA? If so, I spotted a Frankoma bamboo mug in the glass case of the Salvation Army on Tustin, near the City of Orange. I've already got one, so left it alone. You or another TC member may want to go pick it up. Sabu.
